Hello, I'm Ian, and I live at the Darvell community in East Sussex, UK. I work most days, and occasionally read books. I have a strong aversion to most professional sports. Ditto boiled eggs. I am married to Olivia, and we have four sons.
Lest there be any doubt, I am very keen to see new members at the Bruderhof. I think sometimes we get a little coy about this (none of us can stand proselytizing Christians) and indeed we do not see it as our job to try to convince others to live...
It’s safe to say that I’ve fairly mixed feelings about organized sports. I don’t play sports now, never really enjoyed playing when I was younger, and think following a professional team has all the excitement of starting a worm farm.
Early Monday morning I was kneeling in front of the toilet, feeling awful. When I had finished, I remained there for a couple of minutes, feeling too bad to stand up.
